A tough New Orleans Mint issue, the 1850-O eagle claims a mintage of 57,500 pieces, the majority of which were claimed by heavy commercial use and eventual melting. A rarity in Mint State with just a handful of survivors known, quality AUs such as this are highly desirable. The sole CAC stickered AU55, this impressive piece boasts sharp design detail effected by light, even rub across the high points. The fields are vibrantly lustrous and exhibit uniform yellow-golden coloration. Well scattered marks define the grade, but none individually draw the eye or hold back the impressive visual appeal. A piece sure to catch the attention of Liberty Head eagle and New Orleans Mint enthusiasts! - Liberty Head $10
